BLADE HOLDER Filed Feb. 18, 1929 Patented May 6, 1930 JOSEPH A. SEYMOUR,OF FABYANS, NEW HAMYSHIBE BLADE HOLDER Application filed February 18,1928. Serial No. 341,008.

This invention relates to a blade holder, the general object of theinvention being to provide means whereby blades of safety razors and thelike can be' placed in the holder so .5 as to provide a cuttingimplement.

Another object of the invention is to so 'form the device that eitherdouble ed ed blades or single edged blades can be used w th the device.a

This invention also consists in certain other "features of constructionand in the combina-.

tion and arrangement of the several parts, to be hereinafter fullydescribed, illustrated in the accompanying drawing and specificallypointed out in the appended claim.

In describing the invention in detail, reference will be had to theaccompanyingdraw- 'ing wherein like characters denote like orcorresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which Figure 1is a perspective viewof the device, showing a single edged bladetherein.

Figure 2 is a'section on line 2-2 ofFigmade in the construction and inthe combinaure 1.

. Figure 3 is lon itudinal sectional view showing a double etfged bladeused with the device.

Figure 4 is 'a sectional view showing a double edged blade used with thedevice.

Figure 5 is a view of the U-shaped member used with a double edgedblade. In these views, the numeral 1 indicates the handle of the deviceand 2 the blade holding,

part. The handle is of tubular construction,

5 with portions of the metal flattened to provide the holding part 2.One edge of the holder part is rounded, as at 3, and a stri 4 i of woodor the like is placed in this roun ed part. The two parts 2 of theholder part 2 are spaced apart a sufiicient distance to receive a blade5 between them and these portions are formed with ofi'set parts 2 wherethey connect with the rounded part 3 to receive the thickened part 5' ofa single edged blade, as shown in Figures 1 and 2. The blade is pushedinto the holder part from the end thereof.

Whenadouble edged blade,such as shown at 6 in Figure 4 is used, asubstantially U shapedstrip 7 is placed over that edge of the blade andthe member blade not being used will engage the wooden part 4 which actsto prevent ulling of the edge by coming in contact with a metal part.After one edge has become dull through-use, the blade can be reversedand the new edge brought into use.

From the foregoing it will be seen that I have provided a simple form ofholder in which the blades can be easily and quickly placed and removedand one in which the blades are firmly held."=

It is thought from the foregoing description that the advantages andnovel features of the invention will be readil apparent.

It is to be understood that changes may be adjacent the tubular part anda narrow blade receiving space between those portions of the flat partswhich are not offset, a strip of soft material in the tubular part and a'U- shaped blade holding member removably fitting in the wide space andhaving its ends bent to form loops to engage the outer ends of the fiatparts.

In testimony whereof I aflix my si ature. I JOSEPH A. 'SEYM
